Özet:

Purpose: Identify the publication characteristics and reference analysis of December 2016 to June 2020, which is the first publication date of the Medical Bulletin (BMB), using bibliometric methods. Method: Articles published in the BMB between December 2016-June 2020 were analyzed. The magazine database was assessed according to the type of texts (original article, editing, presentation of facts, letter to the editor), the relevant branch of the article and the geographical origin. Also, the reference rate was calculated by dividing the total reference amount into the total number of published articles. Results: A total of 88 articles were included in the study. In the published articles, the first 3 ranked in the neurochirurgy, anesthesia and reanimation and pediatrics (27.27, 13.6 and 11.36) sections, respectively. The reference rates were calculated as 15.7%, 10.3 and 0%, respectively, as the original article, the presentation of the facts and the collection will be. Many of the articles were published in Turkey from the Marmara Region (81.81 percent). The number of articles published from two different foreign countries was estimated to be 4 (4.5%). All foreign articles belonged to pre-clinical branches such as pharmacology, microbiology and physiology. Result: Our study offers the opportunity to compare the reference numbers and characteristics before and after the indexation of the magazine in the near future.
